Thoughts on NRW

Hi,

What are your current thoughts on NRW? I have held them for a while now and are starting to lose patience with them . Is it time to sell up and put the money to use elsewhere?

Andrew

Answer

Hi Andrew,

We have talked about both NRW Holdings (NWH) and Monadelphous (MND) over recent weeks, like yourself we have endured an extremely frustrating few months but if we didn’t have a current high exposure level to the sector we would be averaging as opposed to selling – hopefully not throwing good money after bad but we do believe at current levels both stocks are offering compelling value.

What Matters Today: With rate hikes back on the table, are retail stocks too expensive?

The ASX consumer discretionary (retail) stocks have demonstrated their need for a strong bond market. In the short term, we remain concerned they’ve disconnected slightly from the influential credit markets. Futures markets are starting to price in the risk of rate hikes in 2024, with some well-respected economists becoming increasingly hawkish. Judo Bank’s Warren Hogan is calling for three hikes to 5.1%; previously, he was looking for cuts in 2025, but the recent hot inflation data has seen him reverse this outlook. We feel the call for rates to hit 5.1% in 2024 is too aggressive, but we cannot see Michele Bullock considering rate cuts until the inflation genie is firmly back in the bottle.

The Match Out: CPI dents equity rally ahead of ANZAC Day

Equities followed the US market higher this morning, also adding a little premium thanks to a handful of positive quarterly reports that were announced after the North American markets closed. That all took a back seat as inflation data printed late morning, CPI coming in hotter than expected which sent the market into a spin, falling ~0.6% at the time before finding some relief. In the end, the index closed little changed, a good result given the circumstances though largely thanks to support from the Big 4 banks.
